blinking circle next to pointer

[Davd]

I have a blinking circle next to my pointer which causes part of the screen to blink.  In some areas, I cannot fill out questions without holding down the shift key.  I don't know why it started doing this.  It follows y pointer around over the screen.  How do I stop this?
